Design-Build

As a Design-Build general contractor, Apple Tree utilizes the “team concept,” which provides the customer with the greatest control over quality, cost and scheduling.

This “team concept” method of project development brings all of the major participants -contractors, consultants, architect, engineer and customer - to the table at the beginning of the project to establish the initial concept for the job.
